Is it just me, or are people being ungrateful? Microsoft, who has been completely forward with the issues and outages on Xbox Live, and seem to have finally gotten things under control, are offering you all a free game. No if, ands, or buts. Microsoft. Is. Giving. You. A. Free. Game.
Can anyone argue against that? There is a game, for free, that you are receiving for the loss of service on Xbox Live (let me just add that I only received disconnects on two or three days following Christmas). Do people pull these hissy fits when WoW goes down for service? Everyone arguing why Microsoft needs to pony up and give us free points, I have one question. Why? Why should Microsoft give you free points?
I've been a member of Xbox Live since day one, Day One. Only after this holiday season have I witnessed Disconnections that I wasn't able to blame on my terrible Internet connection, and outside of the three days where I was having issues, the service has always been reliable, fast, and convenient (The users are a whole other story).
My question? Why are you complaining? Microsoft has been very open about "yes, there are issues with people being able to connect, and we're working on them, we're very sorry for the issues, but we're working on them.", and they offered you a free game. That's like your best friend offering you food for throwing out your lunch, and you turning around and shoving it back in their face, because fuck food, you want 500 microsoft points, not a fucking sandwich.
You could have gotten nothing, but honestly now, is microsoft really being all that unreasonable by giving you a free xbla game for your trouble?

get the problem fixed and be done with it. it's probably the microsoft employees watching videos of new PS3 games on youtube all day that slow it down so much.
"sorry".
A free game is free, and free is for me.
Also, according to my wife, WoW goes down like once a week so shit can be fixed or whatever, and those people pay more per year than we do to game on Live.
BTW, I experienced no problems with my Live service after Christmas, everything functioned just fine.
No, they didn't promise you shit. They're nice enough to give you a game, now fucking take it or leave it, if you're THAT offended, don't download the game, I don't give a flying fuck.
For the people who wanted 800 free points, that would never happen for many reasons. Just think about it for a second.
Electro Lemon - speak english, please. If that's a plea to change the Flying Pikachu icon, no, Pikachu stays.
if anything, i'd rather have a choice of a XBLA game. but it's not like I was really affected. I mean around christmas time, I was too busy ass raping some random officer in Warriors Orochi. But you gotta realize. It's microsoft. if it's a small problem, the bishes will fix it to the point it's still playable. I've had friends or other people say they saw no problem and people saying they did. EITHER WAY, they were online, they were playing. might've been some lag but who hasn't dealt with lag?
case in point: bitch and whine. then move on.
You're not entitled to shit and that's just the way it is. They are giving away a $10 game just to make some people happy, something they aren't obligated to do.
Even if I would have experienced problems with my service (I didn't), I wouldn't expect shit back. Shit happens and they try and fix it ASAP. What more do you fucking want? If you're complaining it's only because you're trying make yourself feel better about being a selfish whining bitch.
I mean itt's bad enough someone thought they could sue MS over this ordeal. It really wasn't that serious.
